Chapter 419 Reunion

Although Aurora and Leila are relatives, their relationship has long been so bad that they only kept each other's phone number and did not block it. In addition, all social software updates are blocked from each other, and they usually don't contact each other at all. , and will not take the initiative to understand the other party's recent movements.

In addition, the two of them have very different personalities.

Aurora is the kind of extremely serious, rigorous, slightly obsessive-compulsive personality, and even a little socially unskilled, but with her own conditions, her lack of social skills is covered up, because she does not need to take the initiative to communicate with others. Socializing, others will revolve around her. One of the manifestations that she is not good at socializing is that she is very inactive on social software. Posting once every few months and half a year is considered frequent.

Layla is different. She is extroverted and feels uncomfortable if she doesn’t post at least five personal updates every day. She is a social queen no matter where she goes. But recently, her best friends have noticed that she has changed a lot. The most obvious thing is that the frequency of posting personal updates has been greatly reduced, only posting one in a few days, and the content is not like the previous rotation of food, yachts, mansions, famous horses, etc., making them worry that something happened to Leila.

When Aurora called Leila at the request of Jiang Chanji, she thought that the latter was either galloping on the vast grassland, or lying on a private beach with a hidden but beautiful scenery to bask in the sun. One would think that the latter is not in any developed country at all, not even in any developing country, neither in the southern hemisphere nor in the northern hemisphere, but in an inaccessible and extremely dangerous place near the equator.

Hot and humid tropical rainforest.

Accustomed to the European climate, Layla kept wiping away her sweat with a tissue. If ever she missed her cousin Aurora, it was now.

"How far is it?" She asked in English in a hunting suit.

The accompanying local black translator translated her words to a local guide who was responsible for leading the way.

The local guide was a black man with darker skin, with a drab cloth around his waist, a necklace made of animal teeth hanging around his neck, and a simple earthen shotgun on his back.

The guide chattered, and the interpreter said to Leila: "He said it's not far away, but men are not allowed to enter the territory of the witchcraft tribe without authorization, so he can only take us to the periphery."

"It's also fine on the periphery, tell him that as long as I can find the witchcraft tribe, I will fulfill my promise, take him to other countries to settle down, and give him money that he can't spend in his life." Leila used up another small bag while speaking. tissue.

The interpreter relayed her words to the guide, energizing the latter.

"But miss, please forgive me, why are you looking for witchcraft tribes? Do you want to join them?" The translator whispered in English that the guide could not understand: "Those women are crazy, come from the civilized world like you Miss should not have anything to do with them..."

Snapped!
Before the translation finished, a black light shot out from Leila's hand like lightning. At the same time as the sound, something fell from the trunk of a tree three meters away.

The translator took a closer look, and found that it was a light green poisonous snake, as thick as a baby's arm. It was almost undetectable when it was entrenched among the treetops before, but now its body was broken in two, and the section was as smooth as a sharp knife.

It wasn't completely dead, the upper and lower parts of its body were still twisting and struggling violently, and its fangs were opening and closing, trying to bite the nearby things.

The black light went straight as an arrow, and after killing the poisonous snake, it swung back like a wave and wrapped around Leila's waist. It was the whip that Layla never let go of.

Compared with that poisonous snake, the action of the horsewhip's attack and return just now is like a more ferocious black mamba poisonous snake.

The translator and the guide didn’t see clearly how Leila cut the poisonous snake in two with the whip, but what shocked them even more was that the tree trunk where the snake was lying down was only slightly shaken by the snake’s fall, and the bark did not. The slightest damage showed that Leila controlled the whip force precisely without wasting any excess power, which was impossible for her a few months ago.

The translator stopped talking, because the poisonous snake didn't intend to attack them just now, but was killed by Leila in an instant. Such a thunderbolt method is enough to prove that she is not the Miss Jiao on the surface, and her attack implies a warning. Let him stop talking too much and just do his job well.

And behind Leila, followed by a mercenary escort team, as well as her daily bodyguards, in this primeval forest, it was no less than a small army.

thump——

A sharp arrow pierced into the tree trunk in front of the guide, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.

The well-trained mercenaries quickly formed a battle formation, lowered their bodies and opened the safety of their guns, and used tree trunks and bushes to hide, while Leila's personal bodyguards stood in front of her desperately.

The guide was already so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, threw away the earthen shotgun, and put his head in his hands, not daring to move.

Not far ahead, a young woman from a primitive tribe appeared in front of the bushes. Her face was painted with a mixture of vegetable dyes and animal fats, animal skins were wrapped around her chest and waist, and colorful feathers were inserted in her hair. But the number of feathers is not much.

She babbled a few words, and the translator turned back tremblingly and said, "She warned us not to go any further, the front is the territory of the witchcraft tribe, and anyone who violates it will be shot..."

Leila pushed aside the bodyguard and said, "Tell her, I'm here to ask to see your high priest, I can go in alone."

"Miss, this is too dangerous, they are all cannibals..." The bodyguard hurriedly stopped her.

Leila waved her hand to stop the bodyguard from continuing, and motioned for the translator to convey her words to the outer guard of the witchcraft tribe in front.

After the translator complied, the guard remained unmoved.

"Tell her again, if you are the high priest, you should know why I came! Luisa will be willing to meet me! Tell her my name is Leila!"

The guard's expression was obviously shaken after hearing the translation, because she knew that Louisa was the name of the high priest when he was studying in the outside world, which proved that the white-skinned woman in front of him might know the high priest.

She said a few words in the native language, and the interpreter relayed: "She told us to stay still."

Leila nodded and signaled the mercenaries behind them to put down their guns and rest on the spot. The mercenaries obeyed the order and lowered their guns, but they didn't close the safety and still held them tightly in their hands.

The guard turned and disappeared into the woods.

The accompanying porters carried heavy backpacks and worked silently like mules. The bodyguard took out a refrigerator with a built-in battery from one of the backpacks, and handed out iced mineral water to Leila.

After about half an hour.

A dozen or so people rushed out in front of the woods, all of them were young women dressed like guards, and the woman in the middle had the most feathers in her hair and the most complicated paint on her face. Didn't recognize her at all.

What chilled the hearts of the mercenaries and bodyguards the most was that the woman in the middle was holding a scepter-like thing in her hand, and the top of the scepter was inlaid with a skull, which didn't look like a Hollywood prop. Judging from the size and shape of the skull, its owner may also have been a teenage female.

"Layla," the woman said, speaking in English.

"Luisa, long time no see, or should I call you the high priest?" Leila finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Layla, what are you doing here? This is not where you should be, you don't belong to this land."

The woman who has the English name Louisa and is also the high priest of the witchcraft tribe is full of majesty when she speaks.

"For the sake of my old classmates, can I have a few words with you? In private." Leila laughed.

Luisa turned her head and said a few words to the people in the native language. As the high priest, the people did not dare to disobey her and stayed where they were.

"Come here." She pointed to one side.

Leila also ordered the mercenaries who came with her to stay where they were, and followed Luisa to an open space a little further away.

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Luisa cut to the chase.

Leila frowned, "Don't be so born, it's a classmate after all, and we meet again after a few years, shouldn't we talk about the past first? For example, how did you become the high priest of the witchcraft tribe?"

"If you are here to reminisce about the old days, then forgive me for not being with you. Please go back, this is not the place you should come." Luisa issued the order to evict the guest without hesitation.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't want to talk about the old days." Leila half-jokingly raised her hands in surrender, "Actually, I'm here to ask for your help."

"You look like you're here to ask for help?" Luisa glanced at the mercenaries from various countries.

"It's for self-defense. You know, the jungle is too dangerous. I, a weak woman, dare not go in alone. I don't believe that these mobs can pose a threat to the witchcraft tribe." Leila laughed.

Luisa ignored her teasing and said seriously, "What kind of help do you want?"

"What if I say I want to join your tribe?"

Leila pretended to be serious, and when she saw Luisa turn around and leave, she hurriedly stopped her, "Don't, don't, I'm just joking, but I really have similar thoughts, although I won't join your tribe, and neither will your tribe." Will accept me, but I am very serious to ask you, how to get stronger power?"

"You're already strong," Luisa said.

"It's not far away. To be honest, I've seen people who are ridiculously strong, but no matter how hard I try, I can't see any hope of catching up with her..." Leila smiled self-deprecatingly, staring at Luisa Tu With a painted face, "So I'm curious, how did you get the second position in the witchcraft tribe? The world's top transcendent organization like this is definitely not able to get to the top just by rhetoric, right?"

"The oracle." Luisa said simply, "The world has its chances and its inevitability."

"Sorry, it's too profound, I can't understand it, can you speak more plainly?" Leila spread her hands.

"Because the chief foresaw that I would become the high priest of the tribe, so I became the high priest of the tribe." Luisa's tone seemed to be taken for granted.

Leila was startled, she accidentally heard an incredible secret, could it be that the ability of the chief of the witchcraft tribe is precognition?Is it possible for such a mysterious ability to exist?

"You don't believe it?" Luisa saw through her inner thoughts, after all, she was too shaken.

"It's not that I don't believe it..." Leila waved her hand, "But if it is possible, I really want to open my eyes. If your chief foresees that you will become the high priest, then did she foresee my arrival?"

Luisa shook her head, "God is the only omniscient and omnipotent person. The chief can only foresee the unknown from the known. If she sees you, she can predict your actions in the future, but if she doesn't see you, she can't predict that you will come."

Layla thought for a while. She didn't believe in the ability to predict the future, because the future was too complex and full of changes, but she believed that Luisa was not lying. If the chief really had this ability, it must come from some kind of magical ability.

If she were to give this ability a name, it would be the so-called "knowing things by seeing the small things". When you see the signs of things, you can know their essence and development trend. This can also be regarded as predicting the future in a certain sense.

There are traces for anyone to do things. Even a lunatic has a certain behavior pattern. If someone can grasp the behavior pattern at the first sight of the other party, it is understandable to predict his actions in the next period of time, but I don’t know the chief How accurate the prediction of actions will be-judging that a student will go to school the next day is something everyone can predict, but predicting how many times the student will wander during class is almost metaphysical.

"So, the first time your chief saw you, he predicted that you would become the great priest of the tribe, so he arranged for you? That's great. If I could have predicted that you would become such a big man back then, I should Please curry favor with you." Leila shrugged and said regretfully, "It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world."

Luisa was silent for a moment, "I thank you for taking care of me back then."

Leila blinked, "Is there? You mean I beat up those girls who wanted to take off your skirt in the toilet to see if you were circumcised?"

Luisa didn't say a word. In fact, she was taken care of by Leila for more than one thing. Although these things were trivial things that were not worth mentioning in Leila's eyes, and they were forgotten in a blink of an eye after doing them, but she was alone at that time. In a completely unfamiliar environment, it was Leila who rescued her several times from the rich girls who bullied her.

She didn't understand at the time why girls bullied other girls so badly. Shouldn't girls help each other and occupy a living space together from the male-dominated world?
She didn't understand, because she grew up in a different environment from those girls. Those girls already had enough living space. What they thought about in their minds was not to compete with men for living space, but how to exclude other girls and make themselves feel superior And satisfaction, after all, there is nothing else meaningful in their empty lives.
